What are soft gel tips?

Soft gel nail tips are pre-shaped nail tips made with a soft gel formula and are the quickest and easiest way of creating gel nail extensions. With a durable, flexible and lightweight finish on the nails, soft gel tip enhancements offer the same finish as a gel nail extension manicure without the bulk of acrylics or complicated sculpting. Plus, they are easier to apply than gel nails. All you need is your tips, a trusty builder gel and your UV/ LED lamp.

Also, because they're made of soft gel, they move with your natural nails, resisting chipping and breaking far better than traditional plastic tips. They come in various shapes and sizes, making applications easy for beginners to pros.

How to apply soft gel tips?

Soft gel tips are very easy to apply. They are so easy to apply that you can do them from the comfort of your home. Prep your nails as usual and apply your gel polish base coat. Apply a thin layer of builder gel to your nails, but do not cure. Apply the soft gel tip to the nails and gently hold it while flash-curing it under the LED nail lamp to ensure the soft gel tip will stay in the right position while curing. We recommend flash-curing each soft gel tip for ten seconds and giving your entire hand a full cure once all the tips have been applied. Now, remove the surface shine of your tips and apply your gel colour. Follow with a top coat, and your manicure is complete! Pair with professional gel polish for the best results for professional salon use.

Remove soft gel nail tips using the soak-off method using acetone gel nail remover. Shop soft gel nail tips at Nail Polish Direct and achieve flawless, long-lasting extensions without the fuss!
